i To allwhom it may concern.

Beitjknown that I, CARRIE M. WHEELooK,

citizen of the United States, residing -at v Washington, District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements "in Hot-Water Heaters, of which t e following is. a specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in hot water heaters or radia In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side eleva? u tion of a hot-water heater or. radiator, show- .Fig.3isa

Fig. 4 is aongitu inal sectional View of the burner.V Fig. 5 is a detail top plan view of the burner, and, Fig. G is a perspective view of the shield or casing em loyed or retaining the heat between the ra iator sections.

. 1 In these drawings: The numeral 1 represents an ordinary hot water heater orV radiaftor-"Whichis to be supplied with water in the v and provided with a number of holes 7 on the to and the ordinary air mixer 8. Preferab (y -there is placed betweenl the sections 2 an 3 a. shield 9 to confine the heat from the burner-6; This shield isa casing of metal ex# tending from hear the bottom at one side and going over the top and down near the bottom on the other side.

tical sides 10 and 11 and the top 12. In the top 12 are holes 13, and in the sides-10 and 11 in position on the sections of the radiator and the clamps forced between the ed es of the sections, the spring tensionof the c s will 65 be sufficient to cause the ends ofthe c amps .heat the amount of lradiator sections answering t This shield 9 has the ver-` In putting the burner .6 into place it should 'p be passed over the top of the communication -connections 18 between thesections 2 and 3, preferably restingthereon and under the radiator tie rods 19, 19, and preferably of a size lto be bound slightly between them so as to be held iirmly in place 'a'nd yet may be withdrawn.

. In use gas is turned on and ignited throu h the hole 16. As the radiator 1tself,'with t e aid of the casing, acts to confine the heat, almost the entire efficiency of the fuel is utilized. There is very little radiation from the casing which is quite small, and very little heat passes v out at the top. Hence nearly all the heat 'passesinto the water in the radiator. With such an economic use of as consumed in pro ortion to the result obtained is minimize or materiall reduced.

It has een the custom heretofore to place an expansion chamber at any suitable point above the radiator and connect the same to one of the sections, but in view ofthe fact that water in this form of radiator is heated at a point adjacent the bottom thereof, said radiator is not to be entirely filled with water, the spacethus left at the upper ends of the esame urpose as the usual'form'of' expansion cham er and when the waterfis heated the sections of the radiator will be entirely filled by the expansion of the water. 'It will likewise ,be seen that this form of burner may be readily introd'uced between thesections `of) thecommon form of radiator or of anyreferred make of radiator and may be intro uced between any two of the sections and at any point between the top and bottom thereof.

.Having described my-invention, what I claim is: l

1. The combination with a hot-water heater or radiator lformed-of parallel communicatingl sections; of.a burner supported by the ra 'ator and adapted to h e removably secured between said sections. i

2. The-combination with a radiator formed .of parallel communicating sections 110 of a, burner supported by the radiator and adaptedto be introduced between any two spaced apart 5 of Fa burner supported by the l* of said sections and a one-'piece shield parradiator and adaptedto be placed inthe space betweenany two of the sections.

3. The combinationl with a radiator formed of a plurality of water-containingv tions of the radiator. sections spaced apart; of a burner supported 6. -The combination vwith a hot water by the radiator and ada ted to be introduced heater or radiator formed in sections, comin the spaces between said sections and transmunicating connections between said secversely of the horizontal axis of the radiator.. I tions and tie rods for said sections; of a 4. The combination with a radiator burner supported by the radiator and adaptformed of a plurality of watercontaining ed to be introduced between any two of said communicating sections; of a burner supi sections and between said communicating ported by the radiator and adapted to be inyconnections and the tie-rods. troduced into any one'of the spaces between the sections and ata point above the base of in said sections, said burner extending transversely of the horizontal axis of the radiator.

5. The combination with a hot water v heater formed of communicating sections;
